The spring conscription for military service has started in East Kazakhstan region

At a press conference of the Regional Communications Service, Deputy Head of the Department of Defense of the East Kazakhstan region Zhasulan Satbaldiyev said that the spring conscription started on March 1, which will last until June 30.

It is planned to call more than 800 people from East Kazakhstan for spring service.

"More than 400 people will serve in the Armed Forces, 100 people in the border guard and the National Security Committee, 250 people in the National Guard of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan, more than 30 people in the Emergency Department, and the rest in the state guard," Zhasulan Satbaldiyev said.

In general, it is planned to call about 1,600 citizens of the region for the spring and autumn appeal.

At the same time, during the press conference, the speaker noted that conscripts can choose to study at a military university instead of military service.

"Young people studying in military educational institutions are exempt from compulsory military service. In case of non-admission, they are called up on general grounds. In order to enroll in a military educational institution, everyone applies to the local military authorities at the place of military registration with an appropriate application, collects the documents necessary for the formation of a personal file, passes a medical commission and participates in the UNT. After that, in the appropriate directions, young men arrive at a military university to participate in the competition," Zhasulan Satbaldiyev added.

In addition, the speaker recalled that the legislation provides for administrative and criminal liability for evading conscription for military service.
